Well the contracters finished our plumbing today and hopefully this will be the end of it! I caught up on 3 weeks worth of laundry as well as ran everything in the house through the wash, and by the end of it all was exhausted!!
Our sponsors took us to Tesco tonight, it was SO much fun!! I cannot even explain how weird it is to walk through a British grocery store again. I picked up all kinds of goodies from my childhood including fruit corners (its a yogurt in two different sections, one is vanilla and one is fruit and you snap the container in half to pour all the fruit into the yogurt... mmm!!), potato waffles, sausage rolls, chicken kiev, a huge thing of hp sauce, ribena, ginger snaps and so many more things!! Our house is now officially stocked with a selection of fabulous food!
The little town we drove through on the way back was not much to speak of, it had a basic 'Boots' pharmacy, a royal mail post office and a couple of indian resaurants and pubs, but apparently there is another town not too far away that is substantially bigger! In talking with our sponsor we found out that they live in Reston and her husband actually lived in Penderbrook when they met (its such a small world!), so we spent some time talking about how much has already changed in the year that they have been here.
When we got home we watched ice age 2 and had a very muddled dinner of anything that took less than 15 mins to cook before heading to bed!
